18 Best Thai Restaurants in San Jose

“This restaurant makes the BEST Thai food!! I spent a month in Thailand and this tastes very authentic and the flavors are off the charts. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, it’s so satisfyingly delicious… can’t wait to have more!

The restaurant is small but the staff are super friendly and the decor, table settings, and lighting are really nice.

*Best Thai food I’ve had since visiting the country!*“

“I went to this place many years ago so I can’t really compare it to now and how much it’s changed because it’s been so long. After seeing an Instagram post about it I had to come and try the tom yum wings. Never had tom yum flavor wings before and it was interesting. The wings were thick and seasoned just right. As soon as I dipped into the sauce I knew it was about to be on. I got a combo plate too which I believe was $14 but upgrading to garlic noodles +3 and extra for the eggroll it came to about $20. The combo was good, came with a salad too. Next time I’ll try the fried rice. This location was nice and clean and the service was fast. She kept updating me on when my order would be done.“

“Crab fried rice & thai tea was yummy :)“

“We have been coming here for 20+ years (previous location off stevens creek / lawrence in santa clara) and the food has been consistently good. Good mix of vegetarian items along with gluten free options. Blue mango fried rice highly recommended. Decent sushi selection and some unique vegetarian rolls also.“

“Ordered the Thai basil with ground chicken and it was delicious. We also ordered the spicy crispy catfish. It was a bit too crispy than we anticipated but also on the sweeter side. Food overall was very good and tasty. Very good service and attention to us.“

“If you're craving Cambodian cuisine, make sure to visit Angkor Chef, a fantastic Cambodian restaurant located in downtown San Jose. Owned by Channy Laux - Chef and her husband, they've been serving up delicious dishes for about 6 months now. Tina and I were thoroughly impressed by their excellent service and mouthwatering food. The restaurant boasts a sleek and modern design, and we particularly loved the beef skewers (សាច់គោចាកាក់). We definitely will come back for more. #supportlocalbusiness #khmerfood“

“I recommend this place!!! Food was really tasty and the owner is very nice!!! She even gave me a free Thai Iced tea. I really enjoyed the fried fish filet on the Granny Smith Apple Salad. Never heard of it before but very good. Restaurant is very clean inside. They only opened 3 weeks ago do give them a try!!!“

“My daughter and I absolutely love the Restaurant .we visit every week, and it’s become our favorite spot for delicious meals. The moment we walk in, we’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere, but it’s the food that keeps us coming back.

Every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding. My daughter’s favorite is the Eggplant Fish dish, and I always look forward to the it. Each bite is full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and made with fresh ingredients. The balance of taste in every dish is just incredible, and the portions are generous . We can’t recommend it· enough if you’re looking for a place with consistently mouthwatering food. It’s our weekly go-to, and we always leave happy and satisfied.“

“First time! Excellent food and staff!“

“Finally tried Thai mama for the 1st time tonight. I’m so impressed, sorry I don’t know your name but the young man taking orders was super helpful & helped me make great choices. Lots of delicious vegan options which makes a nice change. We’ll be back.“

“I accidentally ordered doordash on July 4th and they are supposed to close. However I recieved call from the lady over there this morning, saying that she is willing to make the order for me.

I didn't expect anyone even her to do that but I think that is some of the exceptional customer experiences I ever had.“

“I’m not usually a fan of this type of food, but while traveling with a friend, we randomly walked into this place — and I want to share my honest experience.
This is not a fancy or flashy restaurant, but I was truly impressed by the warmth and flavor of the food. It’s a small, humble place, but the food is very tasty and well-prepared.
The prices are fair for the quality they offer.
The service was good, the atmosphere was calm, and overall it was a very pleasant experience.
I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something authentic, simple, and delicious.“

“This is some of the best Thai food I have found in the Bay Area. Their curries in particular have quite a smooth flavor - I would recommend the Panang, the Red, or the Massaman. I find it hard to tear myself away from those, but when I do, I have had an enjoyable time with both the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. And if one is getting takeout and wants rice to eat later, the Siam Fried Rice is great. Tomato in fried rice is not something I have seen before, but it tastes great in this! Frankly, I'm surprised I rarely have to worry about getting a spot - this place is astonishingly under-utilized for being so amazing. Probably because a lot of folks do not know about them, but they keep my vegetarian partner well fed, and she is a bit of a picky eater besides, so I would like to keep them around and in business! Finally, they are doing an amazing job of staying open and efficient during the Covid-19 crisis, implementing better order/online and cheap delivery options. Thank you so much Thai Erawan for doing a great job, and I hope more people eat there so that you can always be around! (Oh, and the heart-shaped rice-moulds just happened to be very on point the first few times I brought my partner there - so extra points in my book for that!)“
